Superheroes
1982–1987

Jean-Michel Basquiat's superhero-themed paintings are a testament to his fascination with popular culture and his ability to infuse his works with deeper socio-political commentary. One of the most notable works in this genre is "Riddle Me This Batman," which features Batman alongside other iconic imagery. This piece reflects Basquiat's engagement with the superhero archetype, often seen as a symbol of power and justice, and how it relates to broader themes of identity and resistance.
